Chapter 224: Laser Cannon
For Zhao Jian's explanation, the foreign reporters at the scene were full of contempt in their hearts.
Saying that the mecha is a firefighting robot, is there anything more perfunctory than this?
"Mr. Zhao, since this is a brand-new firefighting robot, it should already be ready for use, I don't know if it can be exported?"
The female reporter from the BBC asked with a smile on her face.
Hearing this, the eyes of many foreign reporters suddenly lit up.
That's right, since it's a firefighting robot, the exit should be very reasonable, right?
After all, fire extinguishing equipment is not a weapon.
Regarding the excessive requirements of foreign reporters, Zhao Jian smiled contemptuously and said: "I'm sorry, I just said that this firefighting robot is an experimental type, and it has not been fully developed yet." ”
"Moreover, in this firefighting operation, this firefighting robot has exposed a lot of problems, which shows that it still needs time to improve, and it is completely unable to meet the relevant regulations of export product quality testing."
The meaning of Zhao Jian's words is already obvious.
That's the rescue mecha exit, you don't have to think about it at all.
"Okay, if nothing else, so be it."
Zhao Jian turned around, directly ignored the many old and tall foreign reporters below, and left in style.
Soon, another spokesman for the fire and rescue department came up and began the closing work of the press conference.
Seeing this, many reporters and media suddenly lost interest.
A moment later, with the end of the press conference, Zhao Jian's related video was also quickly spread all over the Internet in the first time.
For a while, the major domestic short video platforms suddenly became lively, and countless netizens commented below.
"I went, I didn't expect the mecha in the photo to be real, this is too awesome!"
"Hahaha, my brother Jian actually said that the mecha is a firefighting robot, it's really amazing."
"Ahem, brothers, don't talk nonsense, where did we get our mecha, we only have firefighting robots. (Dog's Head)"
"That's right, we don't have mecha at all, only firefighting robots, and we don't just have firefighting robots, but also battlefield firefighting robots, and all kinds of robots. (Funny)"
"As we all know, war is also fire, so we send fire extinguishing robots to extinguish fires, which is normal and reasonable>."
"There's nothing wrong with the brother, it's reasonable! We're just going to put out the fire, and it's free. (laughs)"
"Grandma's, the BBC female reporter still wants to import our firefighting robot, how can she have the face to say it!"
In the discussion of many netizens, the news about Huaxia's development of usable mecha quickly spread throughout the world in a very short time.
The media of various countries around the world are frantically reporting on this incident.
Even, various so-called "military" experts jumped out and began to talk about this set of photos.
These experts are skeptical, skeptical, and touted, and everyone has them.
However, it is a pity that because the evidence is only a set of photos, and it is so vague, Zhao Jian flatly denied it.
Therefore, the media in many countries suspect that this may be a show in Huaxia, in fact, there is no mecha at all, this is just a game CG picture made on the Internet.
Perhaps Huaxia does have similar fire-fighting machinery and equipment, but it is definitely not the kind in the photo.
In fact, these countries cannot be blamed for this, their suspicions are not unfounded.
Because none of them believed that Huaxia's technology could be so strong.
You must know that their rice boss didn't develop a mecha, and Huaxia developed it first, how is this possible.
In this regard, after seeing the news, many foreign netizens also climbed the wall from the Internet to see if there was a detailed video.
However, they were doomed to return in vain.
Because there is no other information about mecha on the Internet except for that set of photos.
In this case, many hackers can't hold back and want to go to the research institute
Check it out.
However, before they could make a move, Fu Xi had already caught them all in advance.
By the way, Fu Xi also threw all the relevant information of these hackers to the network supervision department, and asked them to check the water meters one by one.
And with these lessons learned, many hackers suddenly disappeared.
Lin Yu didn't pay much attention to these public opinion turmoil on the Internet.
He has been staying at home, honestly compiling the key technologies of the second-generation mecha.
However, in the afternoon, Lin Yu received a call from Zhao Yu.
The content of the call is very simple, that is, Chen Tian and his research team have successfully developed the first laser weapon.
However, Zhao Yu needs to receive He Jianjun, so he may arrive later.
Hearing the news, Lin Yu thought about it, but put down the work in his hand and prepared to go over and take a look.
Nuclear test sites.
Since the research and development of laser weapons is inseparable from energy, Chen Tian's research team and Li Lao of the EAST and HT-7 projects are together.
Therefore, when Lin Yu came to the nuclear test base, he saw the three people in charge.
"Hahaha, Mr. Lin, you are here, come and see the results of our research in the past few months."
After seeing Lin Yu, Chen Tian greeted him warmly and pulled him to a large experimental platform.
At this time, what appeared in front of everyone was a circular device with a super diameter.
On the periphery of the circular device, dozens of stout cables are linked.
"Mr. Lin, this is a large laser cannon developed by our team, although it looks a little simple, but it is not small."
Chen Tian pointed to the circular device and introduced it to Lin Yu with excitement on his face.
"Has it been tested? What is the experimental data? ”
Lin Yu nodded and observed carefully.
"This ...... We've only done simple tests on power, energy consumption, etc., and we haven't had time to test other more detailed data yet. ”
Chen Tian said curtly.
This thing was just developed two days ago, and their team immediately cared about whether the research and development was successful and where they had time to conduct experiments with detailed data.
"How's that power?"
Lin Yu asked again.
Speaking of this, Chen Tian suddenly said with pride on his face: "Mr. Lin, we have tried super steel, 1500~2000 mm thick super steel, this laser cannon can completely penetrate it!" ”
Super steel, which is currently the hardest metal except for a very few special alloys and rare materials.
Moreover, it also has a variety of properties such as magnetic repellency, high toughness, high temperature resistance, impact resistance, and friction resistance, and is a universal material.
However, this laser cannon can completely penetrate the two-meter-thick super steel.
It's really powerful.
In other words, in today's world, 90 percent of things can't withstand the bombardment of this laser cannon.
"It's not bad, the power needs to be improved, what is its energy consumption, I remember that the cold fusion device should not have been assembled yet, right?"
Lin Yu said a word of praise, and then looked at Li Lao and Xu Lao next to him.
"Yes, the core parts of the cold fusion device have not yet been manufactured, and we are already asking NORINCO to speed things up, and if everything goes well, then all the parts can be manufactured in about a week."
Mr. Li said the current progress of the project: "As for the subsequent assembly of the cold fusion device, I think it should take no more than two or three days to complete it completely, and then it will be ignited." ”
In the end, Li Lao's tone was also full of expectation and yearning.
The world's first successfully ignited controlled nuclear fusion device, and the most incredible cold fusion.
Such news is enough to shock all nuclear physicists around the world!
"At present, the energy supply of this laser cannon is the characteristic battery compartment of the Chengying mecha, and basically a set of special battery compartments needs to be consumed for one shot."
Xu Lao next to him took over the topic.
Hearing that a set of special battery compartments would be required for a shot, Lin Yu was very calm
。
An epoch-making weapon like a laser cannon naturally requires a lot of energy.
Even if Lin Yu gave a new energy conversion method, it couldn't change this situation.
Of course, without this new energy conversion method, the energy required is probably more than just a set of characteristic battery compartments.
According to Fu Xi's calculations, if the energy conversion method of boiling hot water was used in the past, the energy required for that laser cannon would be enough to suck up a small power plant.
That's right, energy consumption is so terrifying.
This is also the reason why developed countries around the world want to develop controlled nuclear fusion technology as soon as possible.
Because energy has always been the first factor restricting the development of human science and technology.
"In that case, let's start experimenting and test the detailed data of this laser cannon as soon as possible today."
Lin Yu said suggestively.
"No problem, Mr. Lin, I'll arrange it."
Chen Tian hurriedly responded.
With that, he walked briskly towards the engineers not far away.
After doing one last system check to make sure everything was working properly, the engineers shouted, "Everything is ready to launch!" ”
"Open the skylight, start drone one, and prepare for testing."
Chen Tian ordered.
As the words fell, the sound of mechanical rotation sounded, and the heavy special alloy skylight above everyone's heads slowly opened, revealing a twenty-meter-wide rectangular gap.
Immediately afterwards, a drone quickly took off from the test site and flew high into the air outside at maximum speed.
Inside the main control room.
Watching the drone fly out of the nuclear test base, Chen Tian looked at Lin Yu and said, "Mr. Lin, you can give an order at any time." ”
"Let's get started."
Lin Yu looked at the drone in the surveillance with a calm expression.
As Lin Yu's words fell, many engineers quickly took action and issued instructions one after another.
Soon, with the assistance of artificial intelligence, the drone that was making irregular movements at high altitude was directly locked.
Then, a blue light as deep as the sea began to gather at the top of the laser cannon.
Moreover, there is more and more light, and the speed of accumulation is getting faster and faster.
The next second.
The blue glow seemed to have reached some sort of tipping point.
A dark blue laser shot into the sky at a speed invisible to the naked eye, disappearing.
Meanwhile.
The drone, which was flying at high altitude, was instantly pierced, and then emitted a violent explosion.
"Hit the target! The target has been destroyed! ”
The engineers shouted excitedly.
"Continue the experiment, however, this time we will not use drones, and first test the effective distance of the laser cannon, as well as the maximum distance."
Lin Yu said calmly.
"Yes!"
Under Lin Yu's arrangement, group after group of experiments were carried out slowly.
The detailed data of the laser cannon are also being revealed step by step.
Half an hour later.
Zhao Yu rushed to the nuclear test base with He Jianjun.
"Mr. Lin, your research and development speed is really fast enough, it's only been a few months, and you have developed a laser weapon, which is really amazing."
As soon as they met, looking at the laser cannon in the test site, He Jianjun couldn't help but say in admiration.
"Chief He laughed, this is the result of the research and development of Academician Chen and his team, I just use my mouth, it's nothing."
Lin Yu waved his hand.
"Hehe, it's all the same, Academician Chen, their contributions are not small."
He Jianjun snorted and changed the topic and asked, "Mr. Lin, what is the situation of this laser weapon now, and can it be operated on the production line?" ”
"Not yet, this is just an initial prototype, and it is still far from the real development of laser weapons."
Lin Yu said casually.
Finding He Jianjun's blank face again, he couldn't help but explain: "To put it simply, this laser weapon is not mature now, it's just a cannon
The laser inside is ammunition, and the magnetic field confines the invisible projectile, which can confine the plasma in it, and then gather, compress, and finally launch it. ”
Hearing this easy-to-understand explanation, He Jianjun instantly understood.
"Isn't that the same laser cannon as in a science fiction movie? Is this still premature? ”
Gao Jianjun said with some confusion.
After Zhao Yu next to him heard it, he also felt the same way.
Now that this laser cannon is a futuristic technology, it's not good.
"Of course it's not mature, according to the experimental data just now, there are still a lot of shortcomings in this thing."
Lin Yu listed the main shortcomings of the laser cannon one by one.
"The first is energy supply, every attack of this laser cannon needs to consume a group of mecha's characteristic battery compartments, and the amount of energy consumed is too large, which needs to wait for the successful development of controllable nuclear fusion to solve it."
"The second is that the charging time is too long, it takes about two minutes to complete, but there is still room for improvement in the later stage, and the final result should be able to reach a rate of fire like automatic artillery every few seconds."
"The third is the problem of laser decay, when the laser is shot, it will be affected by the geomagnetic field because of the earth's natural magnetic field environment, and gradually weaken, so this laser cannon can hit 30,000 or 40,000 meters at most."
"Fourth, and this is the most critical point, that is, this laser cannon can only hit a straight line, not a curve like a howitzer."
"Of course, to be precise, this fourth point is also common to all laser weapons, they can only hit a straight line."
"Therefore, the most ideal shooting environment for laser weapons should be in the atmosphere, or in space, to carry out air-to-ground strikes."
"All in all, this laser cannon is just an experimental product, and there are many small flaws, I won't tell them one by one, and you don't have to be too excited, the real laser weapon is still early."
Lin Yu finally made a summary.
